| - I love Yelp and rely on it all the time when looking for a place to stay or eat. I've been to a number of dentists over the years, but never felt compelled to write a review on one...until now. Please know that I am not related to Dr. Barnes, nor am I a friend (although he's a really nice guy!). I just want to share my honest experience with a truly excellent dentist.
Dr. Michael Barnes has been our family dentist for the last 5 years, and we have been very pleased with all work performed. We have had cavities filled, new porcelain crowns placed and old crowns replaced. And last month, at my request, Dr. Barnes completed a very prominent cosmetic procedure on me which required precise color matching and placement of 2 Zirconium Crowns. He did not just take impressions and use color matches to be sent to the lab, he actually had his lab technician come into the office for two of my appointments to photograph my teeth and match the new crowns' color perfectly. The result was just what I had hoped for. I don't have enough words to say how happy I am with the final result.
Dr. Barnes is very careful to explain all procedures and his work is reasonably priced. We have never had an unpleasant surprise regarding exactly what needed to be done or the cost. He cares about his patients' comfort. In fact, when I called his office one morning last year in great pain, he came in on his day off just to see me. When we've needed referrals for gum surgery or root canal services, we have been very pleased with his professional guidance and recommendations.
Our family has our teeth cleaned regularly by his hygienist and have been particularly pleased. (Our family includes 4 "mature" adults, one of which is 90 years old and requires a "deep cleaning" every 3 months.)
After having some truly awful experiences with medical offices where the doctor is great but the rest of the staff is incompetent , I want to add that all the staff at Dr. Barnes' is wonderful--knowledgeable, friendly, caring and efficient--which helps make every visit a pleasant experience.
I highly recommend Dr. Barnes to anyone seeking an excellent, experienced, cost-conscious and ethical dentist. The whole practice deserves 5 stars.
